[Abdulai Gassama · Rating 5 out of 5]

Golly this took a lot longer than expected nor do I believe I am *done* reading. With the thematic presence of 'open endedness', the pastorals and parrot topics seemed adventitious. The first section is presented with a precarious manner (atleast it seemed so to me) but the concepts are launched off with stimulating multidisciplinary narratives; analogizing topological ideas of space and curvature with author's personal political ethics.
